Plantersville Cookbook

Some of you knew Mr. Ernest Bowen of Tupelo who recently died. His son, Bo, and Carole work together and yesterday, Bo gave us his mother's copy of A Book for Cooks published by the Methodist church of Plantersville in 1962. His mother's copy seems to have been used more than the copy we have that Carole wrote about on this blog back in October of 2006.

As I browsed through it last night, I didn't recognize some of the names and need your help. There are entries by Mrs. J. A. Smith and Mrs. Chester Smith; which one, if either, is Mrs. Doc Smith? Who was Mrs. Hellweg? Who were Mrs. Jack Bryson and Mrs. Lurene Senter? Who were Mrs. C. L. Ray and Mrs. Robert Godbold?

Who was the Methodist minister in Plantersville in 1962? I assume that one of the ladies mentioned above would be the wife of the minister. Would that be Mrs. C. L. Ray?
